Have you heard of the saying, "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I change," by Dr Carl Rogers? In my experience, our suffering stems from a lack of self-acceptance and self-compassion. I have also realized that it is not until we are willing to take that first step of looking at ourselves honestly and kindly, that we start living life fully. If you are feeling stuck dealing with difficult situations or repeating unhealthy habits, I can help.

Verified

Life has its ups and downs. At times, we may struggle to navigate the downs leading to us feeling lost and confused. It is normal for us to engage in coping skills that help us feel good in the moment, though sometimes that leads to us feeling not so good in the long run. Asking for help is hard and we often don't speak up, especially with the stigma attached to mental health. I want you to know that you don't have to suffer alone, there is help out there, and you deserve to live a life you enjoy.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
Cognitive-behavioral therapy stresses the role of thinking in how we feel and what we do. It is based on the belief that thoughts, rather than people or events, cause our negative feelings. The therapist assists the client in identifying, testing the reality of, and correcting dysfunctional beliefs underlying his or her thinking. The therapist then helps the client modify those thoughts and the behaviors that flow from them. CBT is a structured collaboration between therapist and client and often calls for homework assignments.
